Legends from USA ’94 put on an 8-goal show under the rain in Tarnovo, and Stoichkov sang

In a match with 8 goals, the legends from the golden team of Bulgaria, which won the bronze medals at the World Cup in the USA ’94, celebrated the 100-year anniversary of Eter.

Despite the rain in Veliko Tarnovo, thousands gathered at the Ivaylo stadium on the occasion of the holiday. And he was more than large-scale.

The national team of Bulgaria, whose captain was Hristo Stoichkov, recorded a definite success with 7:1. The team decided everything in their favor already in the first half, when they had a lead of four unanswered goals, thanks to Doncho Donev (4), Martin Kamburov (22, 28) and Emil Kostadinov (28).

After the break, Petar Mihtarski (44), Daniel Borimirov (49) and Stanislav Angelov (52) also scored for the legends of Bulgaria, while Ivan Petkov scored the only goal for the “violets” in the 41st minute.

The intriguing match was the highlight of the club’s centenary programme.

Before the meeting, Hristo Stoichkov took the microphone and delighted the fans with a vocal performance. He performed a refrain from the song “Lyubov pone”, which he performed originally with Toni Dimitrova and the Argirovi brothers.

In the third minute of the match, the captains of both teams – Stoichkov and Balakov – interrupted the meeting to pay tribute to Trifon Ivanov.

“You know that a great friend with a lion’s heart, such as Trifon Ivanov, is gone today. Just as it was raining eight years ago on the 50th anniversary, today is also for him,” said the top scorer of the World Cup ’94.

“Hello! I’m glad to see that the stands are full. Happy anniversary! I hope the next hundred years will be much more successful together with you. Tryphon is gone, but he will always be with us. Today he is certainly with us Balakov commented.

After the match, a powerful dawn lit up the sky over the stadium, where in 1991 the local team became the champion of Bulgaria.
